The color is displayed as turquoise petrol. It is soft, rather thin and good for cooler summer evenings. I took for my husband XL, he is 185 cm tall and weighs 92 kg, has a slight paunch, but that does not really stand out as the sweater because it does not so snug as the man in the picture. The embroidered logo on the chest and the metal plate on the pool look classy and yet it is a simple pullover is soft and conforms well. The neck shield is soft and does not scratch. The size XL is really an XL. Can you wash the sweater at 30 degrees, in the dryer it should not. Beautiful sweater, we have nothing to complain about. He has me even so much that I watch something they have so for women.
